Watson Chapel made the 4A South Region boys basketball championship game for the third year in a row following Friday’s 53-34 win over Camden Fairview.
Shortly after Pine Bluff High School's boys basketball team completed its run in the King Cotton Holiday Classic, Watson Chapel High School Coach Jevon Barnes publicly credited the Zebras on social media for putting the entire hoops community on notice with its near-championship performance.
At some point, Watson Chapel's Khamani Cooper was going to score his 1,000th career point in high school basketball. He just had to keep it off his mind at least until he reached the milestone.
Marcus Strong had made back-to-back three-point shots to give Watson Chapel its largest lead against longtime archrival White Hall in the first half, but his biggest basket was yet to come.
